ReadMe file for Marshall et al 2014 - EE - experiment patch residency time data.csv This file contains the data set describing the patch residency times observed in a field experiment and analysed in Social effects on foraging behaviour and success depend on local environmental conditions by Marshall et al. in Ecology and Evolution The data were collected by Harry Marshall, Alecia Carter, Alan Cowlishaw, Ailsa Henderson, Matt Holmes, James McKenna, Gordon Pearson and Jonathan Usherwood at Tsaobis Leopard Park, Namibia between May and September 2010. Please contact Harry Marshall with any questions. Each row describes one patch residency time recorded from one baboon, the experimental patch configurations it was observed under, the charactersitics of the focal baboon and of the patch it was observed in.. COLUMN HEADINGS - The headings described below correspond to the response variables (first group), fixed effects (second group) and random effects (third group) used in the analyses. - All non-categorical fixed effects (second group of headings) have been standardised based on the population mean and SD. - Please see Methods text in the paper for details on how the variables described here were calculated. duration: the number of seconds the focal baboon spent foraging in the patch. food.density: the initial food density of the patch (grams/metre^2) start.depletion: the estimated depletion of the patch whend the focal baboon entered it (cumulative baboon seconds in the patch) satiation: the estimated satiation of the focal baboon (number of seconds it had foraged that morning) groupsize: number of other individuals in the patch age: estimated age of focal baboon (years) sex: focal baboon sex mean.patch.food.content: mean amount of food contained in each pach (grams/metre^2) inter.patch.distance: distance between each patch (metres) previous.duration: the time (seconds) the focal baboon spent in the previous food patch it visited intake: the number of bites the focal took in the first ten seconds of the current patch visit. rank: focal baboon rank social.bond.strength: focal baboon mean social bond strength social.bond.symettry: focal baboon mean social bond symettry relatedness: focal baboon mean relatedness index: unique observation-level ID focal: focal baboon unique ID patch: ID of the patch (see Fig. 1 in text) exp.day: unique ID for each day the experiment was conducted troop: focal baboon's troop ID
